Exactly this. ^^^
RunFlat "could" get you places in case of a flat (did for me once - initially while I still had run flats early on) but there's absolutely no assurance that it will help, all depends on type of puncture you have. So you're playing with fire either way, run flat or not.
In my opinion this is dumbest thing car manufacturers ever did, this "no spare tire" business. Run flats or not, any passenger vehicle should have a spare tire.
Not to mention extra cost of run flats, not as good handling (on average) and shorter thread life.
I carry Continental Kit in the trunk (and hope for the best on long trips).
